User name change issue

[sparkster666 0]

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and installed emby server with no issues. I need to change the user emby runs under for permission issues. When I edit /etc/emby-server.conf I am no longer able to access the webpage after I restart the server. Are there any other changes that need to be made when changing the user name.

 

thanks in advance...

Change the permissions of the data directory. The start script is suppose to do this, but there is an error in it. I will try and address the issue in future releases.
